📝 State of Gaming Token Launches in 2025

An analytical update on gaming token launches in 2025, exploring market trends, performance metrics, and the impact of current macroeconomic conditions on web3 gaming.

What’s Going On Here?

In early 2025, 24 web3 gaming tokens have launched so far, with projections suggesting the total will reach the mid-30s by year-end. Despite ongoing development activity, the overall market has been bearish, with most gaming tokens experiencing a ~70% drop from their all-time highs. Projects like Off the Grid’s GUN, SONIC, and B3 lead in valuation, but the trend of low circulating supply and high fully diluted valuations (FDVs) is becoming the norm. This launch model gives teams more control over supply but reflects weak trading sentiment and cautious investor behavior.

What Does This Mean?

The pattern of early hype followed by rapid decline in token performance continues to plague the web3 gaming sector. Even high-profile launches, like GUN’s Binance listing, have struggled to generate sustained momentum due to macroeconomic pressures and potentially flawed distribution models. However, upcoming projects—Uncharted: Fishing Frenzy, Gigaverse, and MapleStory Universe—may experiment with new tokenomics and launch strategies, possibly resetting market expectations. Meanwhile, many games are improving in quality, suggesting a gap between product development and token performance.

Why Should I Care?

For gamers, this means don’t judge a game’s potential solely by its token price—many high-quality projects are still maturing. Developers and investors should be rethinking token launch strategies, moving away from hype-driven models toward sustainable economics and community-driven growth. For the broader web3 gaming ecosystem, 2025 could be a year of painful lessons—but also necessary recalibration. Projects that can balance gameplay innovation with sensible token design will be the ones to watch in the months ahead.

✍️ Reviews of the Week

Step into an intense battlefield of a fast-paced FPS followed by a nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG in our two featured reviews:

Shatterline is an ambitious FPS that blends the intensity of roguelike PvE with fast-paced PvP, offering something unique for players looking for a fresh experience. While the game currently faces challenges, such as occasional bugs, cross-region latency, and a relatively small player base, it’s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by more gamers.

MapleStory N truly feels like a blast from the past, bringing back the nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG gameplay while weaving in modern web3 integration. Sure, there are some areas that could use improvements, like onboarding accessibility and loot collection mechanics, but the game’s strengths shine through.
